A new study by a team of @Sydney_Uni and @unsw researchers determined that the burden of #diabetes in Australia could be underestimated by as much as 35 percent. “This study highlights a major gap in how we currently monitor diabetes in Australia. If we are missing up to one in three people with diabetes in national estimates, we risk underdelivering on care and prevention. Accurate data is critical to the success of the National Diabetes Strategy” @AliceInNutrland Congratulations 👏 – Professor Emeritus Stephen Colagiuri – Ms Emma Cox – Dr Juliana de Oliveira Costa – Associate Professor Michael Falster @michaelfalster – Dr Joanne Gale – Dr Alice Gibson – Professor Natasha Nassar Read the story 📰 bit.ly/3E8Xyob @SaxInstitute @DiabetesAus @UNSWMedicine @sciencedirect

🔬NEW RESEARCH👇| Lowering the screening start age to 45 or 40 could reduce colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality by 5% and 10%, respectively. Meanwhile, extending the stop age to 79 or 85 could lead to a 3% and 5% reduction. 🔍The findings suggest that starting earlier is more cost-effective and offers a better balance of benefits vs. harms than extending the stop age. 📰Read the full article via @ElsevierConnect🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.esmogo.202… ✍️@jbin_lew | @QingweiL | @ettofel | @Karen_Canfell | @CancerCouncilOz 📍@CCNewSouthWales | @syd_health #⃣ #ColorectalCancer #CancerScreening #PublicHealth
